Research report by @ICFJ @UNESCO from 2020 participatory research with @rapplerdotcom - oldie but goodie because even as big tech has pushed boundaries with impunity, little has been done to protect the public against platform design and algorithms forming our outrage economy today.

A recent decision by the #Philippines Court of Appeal to refuse to reconsider the criminal conviction of @mariaressa means jail could be imminent for the #NobelLaureate. This is the latest turn in a campaign of legal harassment lasting four years. (1/7)
